South Korea imposes travel ban on President Yoon amid insurrection investigation probe

President Yoon Suk Yeol is under investigation for his declaration of martial law last week, which led to a raid on parliament by troops ordered by Colonel Kim Hyun-tae. The opposition launched an impeachment motion against him, but the motion was boycotted by the ruling party and the president remains in office as head of government and commander-in-chief. The opposition has accused the ruling party of staging a "second coup" and tens of thousands of people have protested against the president. As a result, the president has been banned from travelling abroad and the opposition has called for his resignation.
